The family would sincerely like to thank the staff at the Greenbriar Nursing Center in D'Iberville for the love, care and compassion offered to Jean during her residency at the facility. The staff grew to become Jean's extended family as many affectionately called her "Jean Bean" which always put a smile on her face.
